Another cheap Radar Motion detection module

Hi everyone.
Some chat on these Pete Scargill's site:http://tech.scargill.net/microwave-for-the-weekend/
It uses a different chip (RCWL-0516) to the other cheap radar modules discussed here last year...

Ive ordered two to play with so will report back in a few months if they work for me.

I wonder how much power it uses, because I suspect it will not be very battery friendly 😀

Some more info here:

...but not any power consumption figures....

3 mA is not very friendly 😁
